Chapter 594: Second Young Master has the Final Say A rain of osmanthus flowers fell with that gust of wind. One of the osmanthus flowers landed on Wen Yu’s hair. Wen Yu plucked the osmanthus flower from her hair and realized that there were subtle markings on the petals. Although the flower had fallen from the tree, it still bore the markings of the tree’s growth. Wen Yu looked between the flower and the paper-elemental source-type item in her hand. A dream took root in Wen Yu’s mind. “If only I could become a white paper engraved with all the memories of you and Sky City,” murmured Wen Yu. Wen Yu spoke under her breath, and the wind was still whistling. Perhaps only the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus caught what she said. “If I could become paper, my front side would display proclamations while the back would be full of secrets.” This time, Wen Yu spoke louder. Before her words could sink in, she entered into a trance. A transparent, paper-shaped Willpower Rune materialized in Wen Yu’s mind, and the spiritual energy surrounding Wen Yu started to swirl rapidly. ... 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮 Mystic Moon reached out his arm and peered at the food in his chopsticks. He felt that there was nothing special about the dish, but the knife-work was solid. All the humble foods had the taste of an aged soup. The taste of the aged soup was the finishing touch that elevated the dish. If it was one year ago, Mystic Moon would never have believed that someone would cook a home-cooked meal for the Moon Empress during a New Year’s visitation. Although the Moon Empress liked all kinds of food, she was picky about what was allowed to enter her mouth. Ordinary dishes were not permitted to enter the Moon Empress’s mouth. However, she was now beaming as she feasted on these common dishes. Cold Moon’s usually frigid expression had also thawed as she drank the soup that Chu Ci ladled for her. Now, Mystic Moon’s desire for a disciple was stronger than ever. Suddenly, he remembered the young girl that he had once guided. When they were done eating, the Moon Empress said to Lin Yuan, “Little Yuan, Mystic Moon will be leaving the continent on the 7th day after the new year. The space tunnel will be set up before the 15th. Previously, I didn’t advise you because there was a lot of time before you had to go to the Spirit Wood Federation. Now, I have to tell you with the utmost seriousness that all of the places in the outskirts will be completely different from the Radiance Continent. You have to be able to stay composed wherever you go.” Lin Yuan nodded seriously. “Don’t worry, Master.” Even if Lin Yuan had not understood the dangers of foreign places after being in the abyss dimensional rift, he had definitely learned what he should do in the face of foreign factions from his experience in the evolving water world dimensional rift. The Moon Empress took Lin Yuan’s words into account and went on to say, “Do you want me to help out with some of your problems?” A flash of coldness and murderous intent streaked across the Moon Empress’s gaze. Lin Yuan knew that the Moon Empress was referring to the Zheng family because there were no other current problems in his life. The Moon Empress had offered him once before. She had to be asking again because the Zheng family was about to make a move. Lin Yuan shook his head and replied with a smile, “Master, I’ll seek you out if I can’t handle it myself.” The Moon Empress stretched out her hand and gently caressed Lin Yuan’s head, and then placed the Extreme Token with the Flowing Cloud Beeswax inside around Lin Yuan’s neck. “I’ve already filled the Extreme Token with the moonlight domain. Don’t hesitate to activate it when you’re in danger.” Lin Yuan lowered his head to look at the Extreme Token hanging around his neck. He could feel that there was something different about the Extreme Token. However, he could not pinpoint where the difference was. ... Unlike the happiness brimming in the Radiant Moon Palace, the atmosphere in the Zheng family’s manor was extremely tense. Zheng Jiangliu and Zheng Wenbo stood off to one side and stared at the austere youth sitting on the main seat. Despite the raging fire burning in the fireplace, Zheng Jiangliu and Zheng Wenbo felt a chill that resonated from within their bones. Bi Chenghu from the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce was kneeling on the floor with his head down. He was terrified of offending the important person seated on the main seat. He had lost track of how long he had been kneeling. Bi Chenghu did not dare to use his spiritual power while he was kneeling. Hence, this king-class expert’s legs had already gone numb. The youth on the main seat scoffed. The kneeling Bi Chenghu twitched, and the terror in his eyes intensified. Bi Chenghu’s main reason for coming to the Royal Capital was that he had no idea why the Zheng family’s third lineage, which had been supporting him and the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce all along, was suddenly ignoring him. He did not expect to meet the Zheng family’s main family’s core member—the Zheng family’s revered Second Young Master. If this was any other time, Bi Chenghu would have been over the moon at the chance to meet someone like the Second Young Master. But now that Bi Chenghu knew that the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce had caused trouble, he wanted nothing more than to dive into a crack in the floor to avoid Zheng Jiangliu’s piercing gaze. However, Bi Chenghu was even more terrified of the Second Young Master, who had not even thrown him a glance. Zheng Jiangliu looked at Zheng Kaiyuan and tentatively said, “What do you think about this matter, Second Young Master?” Zheng Kaiyuan slammed his hand down on the table forcefully. He startled the small black and white sable in his arms. It tunneled into Zheng Kaiyuan’s blooming sleeves. “What do I think? Let’s ignore the death of the Zheng family’s third lineage’s Jiao Hanzhong. However, my guardian is now on his last legs, not to mention deaf and mute. The Zheng family’s third lineage is actually asking what I think?” Zheng Kaiyuan spoke like a haughty elite that was chastising his subordinates. His tone indicated that he did not consider the Zheng family’s third lineage as part of his family at all. Zheng Wenbo had already been scared silent. He stood hunched behind Zheng Jiangliu. Zheng Jiangliu’s expression had soured significantly, but fear lay underneath his sour expression. Zheng Jiangliu said with a resigned air, “Second Young Master, we’ve been collecting resources from the coastal shores outside of Indigo Azure City. The third lineage only asks for 20% of this business. You can have the remaining 80%.” Zheng Kaiyuan’s sharp gaze penetrated Zheng Jiangliu. “The third lineage is now struggling with gaining control of the coastal sea owned by the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce despite having schemed for so long. Hehe, it looks like the third lineage has been hiding many things from me!” Zheng Jiangliu’s body froze. “The third lineage dared not hide anything from you, Second Young Master. From now on, you can have the final say when it comes to the third lineage.”
